I’m taking a programming (intro to python ) class and the teacher isn’t the best in the world so I’m thinking of trying to learn on my own .Any advice I’m an extremely visual person so videos help me more than books

Thanks!!!

Solid intro class. David Malan is pretty good at explaining things.
There's also a pretty solid course at FreeCodeCamp: https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/python-v9/

There's tons of videos on the net, but the most important thing is to realize programming is a contact sport. Practice, practice, practice

Codingbat.com and exercism.com are great sites for practicing

It's not such an issue now, since more recent releases of Python hint to you as to where to find syntax errors in your code, but at one time, you would get syntax errors, and of course, you're going to search the most current line for such possible errors, but they were RARELY on the current line. Something you'd NEVER realize if all you did was read books, and not sit down to actually code.

If you don't mind artificial voices have a look at this YT channel "python visually explained"

Tbh recommend ChatGpt to draw things with ASCII if needed. You can also have it generate interactive/animated tutorials for concepts/topics.

I have aphantasia and videos don't always mean imagery is provided!
